Why should gays not be allowed to adopt?

[R1Geezer]

The Sherman asked me the above in another thread, I thought it should be a general discussion as a reasonable Geezer I thought I'd create a separate thread. I give my own reasons here: 1. 2 dads/mums = a Nuclear bullying weapon = damged child. 2. Children need 2 parents 1 of each. 3. It is artificial and not what biology intended. 4. Left to their own devices same sex couples can not reproduce, hence are not geared up for bringing up children. 5. Children should not be induced into thinking that having 2 dads/mums is the norm. OK I accept that there are a lot of children whose normal upbringing leaves a lot to be desired, we are not talking about those. I fully accept that homosexuals are part of society and should live comfortable fulfilling lives but I will never accept that they should be any where near children. Oh and before you ask, no I'm not a Muslim.

black child should not be placed with registered BNP supporters.

Whilst I find myself agreeing with you, I can't help thinking that idea sounds like a great premise for a CH4 sitcom.

It almost writes itself.

all we can do is talk about our views on subjects that are brought up - but if you think that is pointless or irrelevant, I am not sure why you use AnswerBank (or specifically the news section)

Before you go off on one of your anti AOG rants, please let me explain.
You took my comments completely out of context.I was merely answering this one statement you made, I was not inferring that our views on all subject are pointless.

You haven't stated your view on this, but let me state mine - I have absolutely no issue with having white parents of black children or vice versa.

To which I replied
Our own personal views are irrelevant.

And the fact is that they are in this particular situation.
Because the point in question was the fact that agencies will not normally place a Black child with a White family, and no matter what yours or mine personal views on this particular situation is, they are irevelent because they wont alter the status que.

But surely that could be said on pretty much anything we discuss.

This question was originally about gay couple adopting. Is there any point in stating my view (or should R1 have stated his view because - no matter what R1s or my own personal views on this particular situation is, they are irrelevant because they wont alter the law.

My gay son (25) has been around the chidren in the extended family now for many years. He came out at 17. As to today none of the children appear to be suffering from the side effects of this exposure. This is unfortunate as many of the adults had hoped that some of the more humane and non judgemental attitudes my son displays would rub off on the children sadly born to the bigoted, sectarian hetrosexuals within the family circle. lol

lets be honest here. all the gays need their balls chopping off.

ALL the gays? The girls too?

The reasoning in this question could have come from Dr Fox on Brasseye.
